example test: (given in http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel/browse_thread/thread/c60a585802888a43/5a71d6462cc09072)
1. Start an activity in process A. 2. Start a service in process B. 3. Start another activity in process C. Now process A is a background process, B is a service, and C is foreground. If C starts using memory, A should be killed before B which is killed before C. It is tricky however to put this together so it works as a unit test with dependable behavior.
